Overview

This script is a wrapper around the cstocs utility, please see its man page first. This program converts charsets in dbf database files. You can also use the --field-names-charset option which will specify to which charset to convert the field names. So you can convert file in Windows-1250 to IOS-8859-2, but have its field names converted to US-ASCII:

        dbfcstocs --field-names-charset-ascii 1250 il2 table.dbf table1.dbf

After the encoding specifications, pass couples of input dbf file, output destination file names.
